Would you like to transform the look and appearance of your home’s driveway? iDream Solutions offers a wide variety of Devon driveway and Cornwall driveway surfacing solutions, including the ever-popular resin bound surfacing. Here at iDream Solutions, we have completed many resin driveways in Exeter for happy customers who wish they had done it sooner.

Since they appeared on the market as a cost-effective, long-lasting and attractive alternative to tarmac driveways , gravel driveways and block paving driveways, stone resin driveways have been increasingly popular. If you’re thinking of adding a resin bound driveway to your property, read on to find out more about its core benefits.

Stone resin driveways are created by mixing aggregate stones in various sizes and colours with resin. The stone resin mixture is then poured onto a pre-levelled surface to create a smooth and attractive driveway. Some choose to finish the resin driveway with block paved driveway edging to create a clear border.

Resin driveways provide a fast-drying surface solution, making them the perfect choice for fast installations. A medium-sized driveway can take around 24-48 hours to complete with an additional 12 hours of drying time.

When investing in a new driveway, one of the top questions is, “Will it last?”. Luckily, resin bound driveways from iDream Solutions are hardy and resistant to various man-made and natural elements, including:

With the British weather often going from one extreme to the other, it’s important that your new resin driveway can withstand the varying temperatures and natural elements it will be subjected to.

Unlike other driveway surfacing solutions, due to the composition of the aggregate and resin, resin bound driveways should not be affected by weed growth, as they will find it hard to make their way through the surface. Take a look at our article, ‘ How To Maintain A Driveway During Winter ’ for more information.

When you install a driveway on your property you don’t want to have to spend hours cleaning and maintaining it. With stone resin driveways, the durable stone resin mixtures bind perfectly to the driveway levelled base. Ensuring your new driveway surface is glued in place and will not shift or move.

Due to the tightly-packed nature of the stone resin material and the natural toughness of the resin, your new stone resin driveway should not crack, or have loose stones or weeds penetrating the surface of your resin.

All you need to do is sit back, relax and enjoy your new driveway. To keep your stone resin driveway looking newer for longer you may wish to clean your driveway with a power hose and yard brush occasionally.

Resin bound driveways are seen as sustainable urban drainage systems by the environmental agency. This means that as resin-bound surfacing is a porous material, its natural drainage system breaks down pollutants which could be potentially harmful to the local wildlife, it does this by allowing the water to filter through the material at a slower pace.

The permeable surface allows for natural water drainage and prevents water pooling on your driveway. Our iDream Solutions stone resin driveways can be constructed using recycled stones and aggregate, creating a sustainable and environmentally friendly driveway.

Resin bound driveway surfaces are relatively low-maintenance, only requiring an occasional wash down, approximately every six months to a year. This can either be done with a hose or light blast of a pressure washer – again the composition means that the surface won’t damage under the pressure. Although we do recommend holding the pressure washer an arm’s length or so away from the driveway surface to ensure the safety of your resin’s composition.

Normally, stone or brick driveways can succumb to stains from car oil or diesel and this can leave a hard-to-remove or even permanent stain. However, resin bound driveways have resistance properties against these liquids, so your resin should not become stained. For more information, see our blog post: ‘ how to maintain resin bound driveway – a guide.’

Thanks to its strong and durable interior and low-maintenance properties, iDream Solutions stone resin driveways come with a ten-year insurance guarantee. No matter the amount of footfall, bikes or cars going to and from the driveway will affect the integrity of the resin driveway.

As stone resin driveways comply with sustainable drainage regulations and requirements thanks to their permeable properties, you do not need to apply for planning permission to install your stone resin driveways.
